FAQ's of Laboratory Centrifuge:
Q: How does the laboratory centrifuge ensure operator safety during operation?
A: The centrifuge features a lid interlock system that prevents the lid from being opened while the unit is running, as well as an imbalance detection system that automatically stops the operation if uneven loads are detected, minimizing risks to operators.
Q: What applications is this centrifuge best suited for in laboratory settings?
A: This centrifuge is particularly effective for separating fluids, gases, or particles based on density. It is widely used in clinical diagnostics, research labs, and industrial laboratories for sample preparation, plasma separation, and other analytical processes.
Q: When should I use the continuous mode versus the timed mode?
A: Continuous mode is ideal for processes that require extended, uninterrupted spinning, while timed mode (0-99 minutes) is best for tasks that need precise run durations. The digital timer ensures process repeatability and accurate results based on your application.
Q: Where can this table top centrifuge be placed in the laboratory?
A: This compact, table top centrifuge has dimensions of 430 mm x 360 mm x 320 mm, making it suitable for standard laboratory benches. Its moderate weight (approx. 16 kg) allows for easy relocation as needed within the laboratory workspace.
Q: What is the maximum capacity and speed of this centrifuge?
A: The centrifuge can accommodate up to 12 tubes of 15 ml each (12-slot angle rotor) and operates at speeds up to 4000 RPM, achieving a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 2325 x g.
Q: How does the digital control system improve the centrifuge's process accuracy?
A: The digital controller and display enable precise adjustment and monitoring of speed, time, and operating mode. This enhances reproducibility, with accuracy up to 2%, ensuring consistent results for sensitive laboratory procedures.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this centrifuge in laboratory operations?
A: Key advantages include ease of use, reliable safety features, low noise operation (below 60 dB), robust corrosion-resistant construction, and flexible functionality suitable for a wide range of laboratory separation needs.
